Chapter 20: Snapshots 205
Plug-Ins in Preview Mode
Recalling a snapshot that contains plug-in data affects the offline
(Preview) routing and bypass state of the plug-in only; the online
plug-in parameter settings are not recalled, and the online mix is
not affected.
The following plug-in functions are available offline in Preview
mode:
• Plug-in routing can be changed
• Plug-in rack view can be changed
• Plug-ins can be added to a snapshot to capture its current
online parameter settings and (Preview mode) routing
The following plug-in functions are not available while in Pre-
view mode:
• Plug-ins cannot be added to or removed from rack slots
• Plug-in presets cannot be recalled or saved
• Plug-in parameters cannot be changed (you cannot open
plug-in windows while in Preview mode)
• Plug-ins cannot be installed
MIDI in Preview Mode
Incoming MIDI or MTC continues to trigger snapshot recall
while in Preview mode. However, MIDI messages stored to snap-
shots are not sent out when a snapshot is recalled in Preview
mode. For more information, see “Adding MIDI Data to Snap-
shots” on page 206.
Media Data in Preview Mode
An in-progress USB track/playlist playback or recording is not
interrupted by Preview mode. In Preview mode, you can recall a
snapshot with a different Media command (none, play track/play-
list, record, or stop), and create and edit snapshots with different
commands without affecting current track playback or recording
status. For more information, see “Adding Media Data to Snap-
shots” on page 209.
MTC and Other Online Event Triggers
While in Preview mode, triggers that occur in the online state of
the system are executed, including MTC-driven recall of snap-
shots. Triggers caused by changes to the offline (Preview) con-
trols are ignored and do not cause events to occur. For more in-
formation, see Chapter 21, “Events.”
Undoing Snapshot Commands
The Undo function returns the system to the state immediately
before the last snapshot command. Undo is multi-level (up to
100), is available while in Preview mode and after performing an
Edit or Propagate mode action.
If the Undo button is highlighted, you can place the cursor over
the button to display text in the status bar describing what snap-
shot actions will be undone.
If the Undo button is dimmed, Undo is not available.
To undo a snapshot command:
Click the Undo button in the Snapshot commands section.
Disabling Snapshots
You can temporarily disable the storage and recall of all snap-
shots. While snapshots are globally disabled, you can target snap-
shots in the Snapshots list to preview their properties, but you
cannot recall them.
To disable all snapshots:
Click the Disable button in the Snapshot commands section.
Suspend MTC Recall
To disable MTC Recall of individual snapshots in the list:
1 Click the green Enable icon in the row for the desired snapshot
so that it is unlit.
2 Click the Disable/Enable icon again to re-enable the snapshot.
For more information, see “Adding Plug-In Data to Snap-
shots” on page 207.
Undoing snapshot recall commands may cause audio to
be interrupted. Use Undo with caution in performance.
